Questions and answers
Do I need to use the rainbird housing to be able to use the rainbird r-van rotary nozzle? I have an existing hunter system and when I change nozzles to the r-van, I am unable to adjust the flow or the radius. When I screw the r-van into the pop up piece, the ability to adjust either flow or radius frozen.
